Press button (1) to take the rst measurement (for example, length).

Press button (1) to take the second measurement (for example, width).
After the completion of area, press button (1), the result of substraction of areas is displayed in the second line.

If the measurements are not nished, press button (3) to continue calculations.

Volume

For volume measurements, press button (1) twice until the indicator for volume measurement appears on the display.

Press button (1) to take the rst measurement (for example, length).

Press button (1) to take the second measurement (for example, width).
Press button (1) to take the third measurement (for example, height).

Measured value is displayed in the intermediate rst line.
The volume value will be displayed in the main display area and the previous area value is displayed in the rst line.

Indirect measurement

Pythagorean measurement is used in the condition that the objective needing to be measured is covered or has no effective reecting

surface and can’t be measured directly.
Make sure you adhere to the prescribed sequence of measurement:

• All target points must be in a horizontal or vertical plane.

• The best results are achieved when the instrument is rotated about a xed point (e.g. with the positioning bracket fully folded out and

the instrument placed on a wall) or the instrument is mounted on a tripod.

• The minimum / maximum function can be used. The minimum value must be used for measurements at right angles to the target; the
maximum distance for all other measurements.

Indirect measurement – determing a distance using 2 auxilary measurements. E.g. When height and distance can’t be measured
directly.

Press button (2) 3 times. The symbol is displayed. The distance to be measured is blinking in the symbol triangle.

Press button (2) to take distance measuring . The result is displayed in the rst line.

Press button (2) to take distance measuring .

After pressing button (2) the result is displayed in the rst line. The result of the function is displayed in the second line.

Indirect measurement – measuring of right-angle edge length (using hypotenuse and right-angle edge length). E.g. When height
and distance can’t be measured directly.

Press button (2) 4 times. The symbol is displayed. The distance to be measured is blinking in the symbol triangle.

Press button (2) to take distance measuring ( hypotenuse). The result of the function is displayed in the rst line.

Press button (2) to take distance measuring (either of the other two sides of the triangle) . The result of the measurement is displayed

in the rst line.

The result of the measurement is displayed in the second line.

Measuring conditions

Measuring range: the range is limited to 40 m. At night, at dusk and when the target is shadowed the measuring range without target plate

is increased. Use a target plate to increase the measurement range during daylight or if the target has a bad reection.

Measuring Surfaces

Measuring errors can occur when measuring toward colorless liquids (e.g. water) or dust free glass, styrofoam or similar semi-permeable

surfaces. Aiming at high gloss surfaces deects the laser beam and measurement errors can occur. Against non-reective and dark

surfaces the measuring time can be increased.

Precautions

Please, handle the instrument with care.
Avoid viabrations and hits.
During transportation put the instrument into the soft bag.

Note: the instrument should be dry!

Care and cleaning

Do not immerse the instrument in water. Wipe off dirt with a damp, soft cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solutions.

Specic reasons for erroneous measuring results

- Measurements through glass or plastic windows;

- Dirty laser emitting window;

- After instrument has been dropped or hit. Please check the accuracy.

- Large uctuation of temperature: if instrument will be used in cold areas after it has been stored in warm areas (or the other way round)

please wait some minutes before carrying out measurements.

Electromagnetic acceptability (EMC)

It cannot be completely excluded that this instrument will disturb other instruments (e.g. navigation systems);
will be disturbed by other instruments (e.g. intensive electromagnetic radiation nearby industrial facilities or radio transmitters).
